I know most people in the IWC seem to hate Kevin Nash. Joking about his quads or his move set. But to me he's one of the best big men in wrestling history.
+JohnA work he was just joking about the 6 moves, kinda taking the piss out of himself. Sidewalk Slam, Snake Eyes, Kitchen Sink Knee, Corner Elbow, Elbow Drop to downed opponent, vertical suplex, belly-to-back suplex, Big Boot, chokeslam, leg drop, clothesline, various holds, and of course the Jack knife Powerbomb. I've even seen him do an outside dive.
Nash is one of those dudes who had the right amount of fun in his prime and didnt get burnt out on it. i dont know how he did it, but he did it right. dude has been married since his good ol' days and still got the same girl. and look at the grey beast now and he still looks healthy as hell. compare him to dudes like Luger or Hall...or even dudes who didnt make it....he did the party thing enough to now completely fuck up his body. plus, the most refreshing thing is how chill the dude is. he really is too ssweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 life
He was smart enough to never bring his wife on the road to see the wrestling world in all its madness. Nash was also smart enough to never get completely fucked up every night like Hall or HBK. He often held back enough so he could hit the gym early after the party.
"...risk versus reward..." these are wise words from Kevin Nash. How many wrestlers do high risk maneuvers and severely hurt themselves these days? You want to be able to wrestle for as long as you can, and taking bodily harm that lessens their ability to have a longer active career.
Dude I loved this guy ever since he was big daddy cool and when he jumped to wcw I still loved him when he was a heel. Listening to him impart this wisdom on these guys was amazing
It's because of the Finger Poke and doom and Quad tearing.. But if you hear the true story Kevin was a victim of more powerful politicking than he could ever muster due to Hogan/Bishoff
IntoTheFray well they did fuck a lot of people over. But I don't think nash was innocent either. I like hearing him talk shoots, they're hella entertaining. but half the time you never know what's truth and what's not. Just listen to his shoots on bret Hart. Changes from one day to the next
I like Nash but he was a bastard back stage and a bully. He would try and get guys fired if they didn't like HIS plans for a match. That and he doesn't believe anyone under 6'4 could be a good wrestler or a believeable champ.
Can you imagine a Young Buck giving this speech? "Every night you have to dive, and you have to top the dive you did last night, and if you botch one just no-sell it and go Superman on your opponent. Also, bare minimum, do 12 of the same move and make it weaker and weaker each time."
todd benoit i think a lot of fans don't realize if you are 300 pound athlete with a history of leg inguries it is very easy to tear ur quad. every season NFL guys tear their quads just runiing out on to the feild. its not like Nash was 29 years old when that happened, he was in his mid 40's coming back from injury. The whole reason Nash didn't have a basket ball career that long was because of a leg injury. he was hurt bad enough in basketball that he could never play again. that was the shape his body was in when he got into wrestling.
AMEN!! Take care of yourselves! There are times, now 50 years old, when I wished I would’ve played golf/tennis instead of football/lacrosse! I wouldn’t have had a blow out knee, broken ankle, broken forearm, all fingers been broken at least once, broke toes, broken/displaced ribs and at least 4-5 concussions!
I like how he says he wouldn't risk thumbtacks for a hundred dollar payday, when I figure most of the guys he's talking to would consider a hundred dollar payday a great night on the indies.
Nash’s entire point is that nearly killing yourself for a little bit of money isn’t worth it. You can do other, less self-destructive things and still get over and not shorten your career by doing all this stupid backyard bullshit. He’s telling them that they need to be smart.
I was gonna say he's got a point with that whole thumbtack and extreme shit. That stuff can work in a very isolated manner but everything is overplayed now. But yeah I get his point.
Starscream91 How are you going to speak on bullying and judgements on appearances when you called the guy ugly, too? And you want people to believe you after you do the same thing you’re preaching against? You’re a fucking hypocrite. Bullies stop existing in your life past high school. If you consider anyone in your life a bully past that age, you’re not being bullied. You’re a weak, pathetic pussy that is being taken advantage of because you’re too much of a bitch to be a man.
Kevin Nash’s matches with Shawn and Bret were classic. WCW matches Kevin didn’t really have great matches but ones he had with the Giant, Sting or Lex Luger were good.
It's funny how far Nash's answer got away from the ?. I love his rant, but I think the ? It was about playing/looking at the camera compared to looking at the crowd.
Even if Nash only had 6 moves it worked for him because he wrestled slower and simple. he was a real deal big guy and thats how someone built like him would actually move. Made sense to me
I think most people overlooks the fact that Nash never trained enough to prevent lower body injuries. Specially important if you're such a big man. It's well documented hence the jokes. He was never a great worker. But he probably is one of the smarter men who understands the business.
It is cool they let everyone tryout. Not everyone is going to have the size, look or talent to be an instant star. Most of these guys will have to change their look to be competitive. That is why a lot of the take PEDs.
bonzii420 What he's saying makes perfect sense if you want to have a long profitable career. Less than 1% of guys make it to the WWE which means you're spending the majority of your career on the indie circuit and if you want to make any kind of money at all, you're gonna need to be around for a long time. The less bumps you take, the better off you are in the end.
I know most people in the IWC seem to hate Kevin Nash. Joking about his quads or his move set. But to me he's one of the best big men in wrestling history.
Agree 100000000%
I agree. His run as Diesel and 96 - miday 98 in WCW were awesome I was a huge fan when I was a kid
I truly think so too
Who is he better than ?
Trillion % ..Nash is 1 of the most genuine dudes.
Nash is such a smart dude. I love listening to him talk even if I'm not a wrestler it's still very interesting.
+Jimmy Jamestown Massacre Always a good shoot Big Kev.

+Sean Cone I have seen him throw a chop
Jimmy Jamestown Massacre He's an asswipe.
Very bright guy
I could listen to Nash all day. Very entertaining and he never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Listening to him makes me sore in the heart. Sounds like my father did. NASH is a absolute legend

This is why I find the other side of the business so fascinating it's so real along with the human element
One of the smarter minds and best talkers in the business
By most accounts..the smartest. His main critique...too cliquey and wrestlers not part of his group loathed him for it.
Watch Big Nash talk just reminds me how much we don't know about the business. There are so many things that we just don't know about.
Dude I loved this guy ever since he was big daddy cool and when he jumped to wcw I still loved him when he was a heel. Listening to him impart this wisdom on these guys was amazing

@@hellohell77 Yeah all those mid card talent that became millionaires without ever being top guys really got fucked over big time. Fucken hell lmao
@@6steveo9 EXACTLY.
This guy’s sharp. Very sharp.
When Kevin said 'You might tear a quad!' I thought that might have got a laugh out of someone! Lol Legend!

Nash is awesome. Anyone of us could injure ourselves by walking. I sprained my ankle stepping of a curb, it turned in on me while stepping off.

to the left at 0:17 is that Sami Callahan?
Nash talking about tearing a quad gave us a bit of a chuckle lol
I don't see how that's funny...
Beat me to it
@@HereForAStorm It's a IWC joke
2:56-3:00 "you dont know how to work until you've worked hurt" DAMN that speaks volumes of truth when you think about it
I bet Kevin is a blast to just hang out with and would love the chance to do so sometime in this life!
Passing on good wisdom.
5:22 "unless you tear your quad"
You are welcome everyone.
Lol
Nash double OG triple OG dropping the knowledge
I like how he says he wouldn't risk thumbtacks for a hundred dollar payday, when I figure most of the guys he's talking to would consider a hundred dollar payday a great night on the indies.
Edward Farnsworth What does that have to do with his point?

Starscream91 ever watch a documentary or prison show about them? They’re all awkward, nerdy looking fucks. Only rarely does one of them look normal.

It was great to hear Nash and Hall squashed their beef with Goldberg.
Kevin nash had the coolest vibe. his persona made the eve have its vibe
wcw I mean not eve
Kevin Nash’s matches with Shawn and Bret were classic. WCW matches Kevin didn’t really have great matches but ones he had with the Giant, Sting or Lex Luger were good.
Shawn and Bret's 60 minute Iron Man is still one of my favorite matches.
Nash talking sense to CZW wrestlers. Hah!
i know, haha, i can feel them all disagreeing in their souls. but they were respectful enough to the legend to hear him out
It's funny how far Nash's answer got away from the ?. I love his rant, but I think the ? It was about playing/looking at the camera compared to looking at the crowd.
He's gotten a lot more wiser and less resentful since retirement.
Even if Nash only had 6 moves it worked for him because he wrestled slower and simple.
he was a real deal big guy and thats how someone built like him would actually move. Made sense to me
I'd have paid big money to see Kevin Nash come out with a broom to sweep the ring of tacks before his match 😂😂
One of those guys in the audience looks like an young Sami Callahan.
I didn’t know he cared about teaching. It seems his heart is really into it. It seems like he likes talking to all the young wrestlers.
4:41 HHH sledgehammer reference?
The best sidewalk slam in the business… with the exception of Kane
Solomon Crowe in the back
He be on it Cornette says he on has 6 moves lmao
how did nash not laugh in that dudes face who was already asking about how to work the camera ? lol
This is awesome!
To hear him say he "loves Goldberg to death is surprising" . I've only ever heard Nash say negative things about Goldberg in other video's.
0:06 a young Sami Callahan breaking into the business
What he says about Hogan here is spot on.
Dam, is that Matt Cross asking the first question? It sure as hell looks like him
Grizzly redwood
What is this from?
good man who got the business.
Oh GOD look at THIS class! Reminds me of Oklahoma. Ugh. No future wwe stars here eh?! Love the NASH tho. Good man big guy.
Sami Callhan & Tassmo Champa among the wrestlers in training.
Is that Sami Callihan in the back row?
There is a Mark zoned out sitting in the back thinking it would be a good Idea to have a future WHC Feud with a Female.
See some off the people listening it went in one ear and out the other
Really??? Dude, you cannot be late when Kevin is teaching! WTH🤔
Samu callhan is in that group how amazing
Nash looks great with white hair and beatd
Look at Kevin Nash dishing out sage advice to the vanilla midget crew and he did it without tearing his quad
Yea man, how the hell does Rick flair still do it?
Peep Sami Callahan in the back 👀
4:31 is facts 4 life
i see sami calihan

one cool fuckin guy.
Sami Callahan here just paying his dues... I love seeing shit like that
Facts.
He right
Goldberg had an arsenal of moves ..n was one of the best things to happen to wcw
If Kevin dyed his hair hed look like he was in his 30s
Nah the grey works.
He's a fan of cupcakke
It is cool they let everyone tryout. Not everyone is going to have the size, look or talent to be an instant star. Most of these guys will have to change their look to be competitive. That is why a lot of the take PEDs.
DIESEL forever
I bet they had to pay nash a boat load bruh doesn't do anything for FREE
solomon crowe lol
You know
As I’m
Nash tore his quad whilst giving this speech
Big lazy is bad for business,all about him self
